  • Objective - Choose your promotional objectives and decide how a coupon promotion fits in with your overall promotional plan for the entire year.
  • Budget - Set the budget for your coupon promotion upfront to establish your practical constraints.
  • Distribution - Decide how you wish your coupons to be delivered to consumers. In general, your promotional objectives can dictate the most effective method for reaching your target consumers.
  • Face Value - Consider your retail price, target consumer, promotional objectives and your competitors. Then, set an appropriate coupon face value.
  • Timing - Decide the best time for your coupons to hit the market based on your objectives and your competitors' promotions. Remember to account for factors like seasonality and past promotions.
